GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 13-23 Enhanced chroma ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Beyond the default parameter settings of librosa's chroma functions, we apply the following enhancements: 1. Harmonic-percussive-residual source separation to eliminate transients. 2. Nearest-neighbor smoothing to eliminate passing tones and sparse noise. This is inspired by the recurrence-based smoothing technique of `Cho and Bello, 2011 `_. 3. Local median filtering to suppress remaining discontinuities. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 132-139 Chroma variants ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There are three chroma variants implemented in librosa: `chroma_stft`, `chroma_cqt`, and `chroma_cens`. `chroma_stft` and `chroma_cqt` are two alternative ways of plotting chroma. `chroma_stft` performs short-time fourier transform of an audio input and maps each STFT bin to chroma, while `chroma_cqt` uses constant-Q transform and maps each cq-bin to chroma.

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 153-167 CENS features (`chroma_cens`) are variants of chroma features introduced in `Müller and Ewart, 2011 `_, in which additional post processing steps are performed on the constant-Q chromagram to obtain features that are invariant to dynamics and timbre. Thus, the CENS features are useful for applications, such as audio matching and retrieval. Following steps are additional processing done on the chromagram, and are implemented in `chroma_cens`: 1. L1-Normalization across each chroma vector 2. Quantization of the amplitudes based on "log-like" amplitude thresholds 3. Smoothing with sliding window (optional parameter) 4. Downsampling (not implemented) A comparison between the original constant-Q chromagram and the CENS features. ..
